Greg Lake Says New ELP Reissues Greg Lake Says New ELP Reissues "Represent the Band's History in the Best Possible Way" - Music News - ABC News Radio HOME NEWS LISTEN FA « Giant John Lennon Painting to Be Erected in NYC's Central Park Today | Main | John Legend, Chloe x Halle, Shirley Caesar and More to Added ABC's "Taking the Stage -- Changing America" Lineup » Greg Lake Says New ELP Reissues "Represent the Band's History in the Best Possible Way" Tweet 0 Recommend 1 Share Comments Off Share Article Emerson, Lake & Palmer has launched a reissue campaign that eventually will see the release of remastered versions of all of the influential prog-rock band's albums. The initiative's first installment, which arrived in late July, includes two-CD editions of the group's first three albums -- its 1970 self-titled debut and 1971's Tarkus and Pictures at an Exhibition -- as well as a career-spanning, three-disc compilation titled BMG Emerson, Lake & Palmer: The Anthology. ELP frontman Greg Lake tells ABC Radio that he's very pleased with the reissues. "They've remixed them. They've used the finest quality processing. They've gone into the vaults [and] dug up things that haven't been released before," he notes. "You know, just a general effort to represent the band's history in the best possible way." The Emerson, Lake & Palmer and Tarkus reissues include alternate mixes of the albums by award-winning prog-rock producer Steven Wilson, plus several previously unreleased bonus tracks. Pictures at an Exhibition, features ELP's original March 1971 concert performance of Russian composer Modest Mussorgsky's famous classical piece, along with an unreleased bonus performance of the piece recorded in December 1970. Greg tells ABC Radio that his "biggest reflective joy" with regard to ELP's early albums is that they helped introduce rock audiences to classical and traditional European music. The reissue campaign is dedicated to ELP keyboardist Keith Emerson, who committed suicide in March at the age of 71. "The best tribute to Keith and to ELP is these albums that are now being released," Lake maintains. "They do contain the very essence, the very heart and soul of all three of those people." The second wave of ELP reissues -- 1972's Trilogy, 1973's Brain Salad Surgery and 1974's Welcome Back, My Friends, to The Show that Never Ends -- will be released on September 30.

In 2010 Keith and Greg released an album titled Live E from Manticore Hall. Performing a two man version of the iconic Emerson, Lake & Palmer songs, the album was recorded during their American tour.

Classical music, hard rock and jazz were the dominating influences in the music created by ELP. Keith Emerson, Greg Lake and Carl Palmer made up the British trio, but it found its origins at the Fillmore West in San Francisco. Emerson and Lake, who were looking for projects outside their current bands, worked together and found their styles were “compatible and complementary.” Music impresario Robert Stigwood suggested that they add Carl Palmer as their drummer.

  • 40Th Anniversary Reunion (DVD) Page 1 of 2
    FAME Review: Emerson, Lake, & Palmer - 40th Anniversary Reunion (DVD) Page 1 of 2 FAME Review: Emerson, Lake, & Palmer - 40th Anniversary Reunion (DVD) 40th Anniversary Reunion Emerson, Lake, & Palmer MVD Visual - MVD5219D (DVD) Available from ELP's web store . A review written for the Folk & Acoustic Music Exchange by Mark S. Tucker ([email protected] ). While I was ecstatically getting my brain razed by some of the latest NuProgressives (Chocolate Horses and Nerves Junior being two of the most recent and among the best), this MVD DVD providentially came my way as kind of a subtle grail, a piece of the true cross, a time machine back to where it all started. Emerson, Lake, and Palmer have reigned as co-equal kings among a coterie of legendary ensembles from an age when unbelievable intelligence, talent, and musical mastery held sway, a time that sadly waned as the shenanigans of punk took over (a regicide happily and speedily failed, as we've seen), and is now in the last gasps of its glory. Before Jorden Rudess, Vitali Kuprij, and others arose, Keith Emerson, Jon Lord, Kerry Minear, Mike Pinder, and sundry geniuses established what virtuosity meant in a rock keyboardist. Before Mike Portnoy, Neil Peart, and other skins-pounders took over the reins, Carl Palmer, Bill Bruford, Ginger Baker, Keith Moon, and others were the drummers to be feared and admired. And when it came to the bass guitar, Greg Lake, Colin Hodgkinson, and Percy Jones preceded Flea and the gaggle of modern day four- stringers. There are aways antecedents. Earlier, Emerson fulfilled a dream we progheads have long held: the reunion of his pre-ELP band, The Nice, and, man, was it ever a rare thrill to see Keith, Brian Davison, and Lee Jackson making music again (if you're a Nice fan, check out the hideously cool Microwerks Diamond Hard Blue Apples of the Moon 2-CD issuance of 'bootleg' materials from the original 60s Nice).

  • Forms of Intertextuality: Keith Emerson’S Development As a “Crossover” Musician
    FORMS OF INTERTEXTUALITY: KEITH EMERSON’S DEVELOPMENT AS A “CROSSOVER” MUSICIAN Akitsugu Kawamoto A dissertation submitted to the faculty of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Musicology in the Department of Music. Chapel Hill 2006 Approved by Advisor: John Covach Reader: John Nádas Reader: Severine Neff Reader: Allen Anderson Reader: David Garcia © 2006 Akitsugu Kawamoto ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ii ABSTRACT AKITSUGU KAWAMOTO: Forms of Intertextuality: Keith Emerson’s Development as a “Crossover” Musician (Under the direction of John Covach) Despite the broad range of attempts to mix “rock” and “classical” music by “progressive (“prog”) rock” musicians from the late 1960s, many writers on prog rock have interpreted the music in a relatively monolithic manner; they often have interpreted the resulting intertextuality simplistically as an elitist experiment that opposes rock’s populist origin. This could certainly be one interpretation of prog, but it is only one of many; there are additional kinds of possible narratives, according to the specific ways in which the materials are combined and fused. Yet the variety of intertextual approaches has rarely been recognized explicitly, and little analytical or musicological attention has been paid to the distinctly different intertextual styles. Generalized approaches to intertextuality have been common not only within popular music studies, however, but also within many humanistic fields. Since Julia Kristeva’s coinage of the term intertextuality in the late 1960s, theorists of the arts (literature, music, painting, architecture, etc.), sociology, politics, economics, and many other fields, have almost always treated intertextuality in a singular manner, presuming that all intertextual practices are more or less of the same kind.

  • A Treasure Chest of Classic Albums Extensive Vinyl, Cd & Digital Reissue Programme Through Bmg C
    EMERSON, LAKE & PALMER: A TREASURE CHEST OF CLASSIC ALBUMS EXTENSIVE VINYL, CD & DIGITAL REISSUE PROGRAMME THROUGH BMG COMMENCES ON 29 TH JULY 2016 WITH THE RELEASE OF THE FIRST 3 ALBUMS AND A NEW ANTHOLOGY Emerson, Lake & Palmer were one of the most successful, innovative and ground breaking British groups of the golden age of Progressive Rock. As well as creating spectacular ‘live’ shows that incorporated advanced technology and showmanship, they also recorded a cascade of powerful albums that sold in millions around the world. During 2016 and 2017 the band’s musical legacy will be celebrated by BMG with an important and comprehensive re-issue programme that will put the spotlight on ELP’s nine studio albums as well as their ‘live’ recordings and compilations. The trio’s remarkable style, combining original compositions with rock, jazz, folk and classical influences, was performed with passion and integrity by the founder members: Keyboard maestro - the late, great Keith Emerson Singer, guitarist, bass player and producer - Greg Lake Drummer and percussionist - Carl Palmer Their phenomenal mix of melodic songs, dynamic arrangements, brilliant musicianship and electrifying sound broadened the audience for progressive rock and guaranteed ELP massive international appeal, as they headlined stadium tours throughout the 1970s and 1990s and achieved sales of over 40 million albums. ELP also enjoyed a major hit single with ‘Fanfare For The Common Man’, and their 21 minute epic track ‘Tarkus’ is hailed as a milestone in Prog Rock history. New and old generations of fans will now be able to enjoy ELP’s music afresh, as their albums are released in a range of different formats, from CD and freshly cut vinyl LP to digital download, high definition digital and mastered for iTunes.

  • Keith Noel Emerson, 1944-2016
    Keith Noel Emerson, 1944-2016 BY JERRY KOVARSKY May 19, 2016 DAVE KILMINSTER (GUITARIST: KEITH EMERSON BAND, ROGER WATERS) “My times playing with The Keith Emerson Band are undoubtedly some of my favorite moments, musical or otherwise. Sometimes during a gig (for example, after singing the ‘Stones of Years’ part of ‘Tarkus’) I would just lay out and listen to the incredible interplay going on. Keith was totally fearless on stage, never afraid to take chances, and his improvisational skills were second to none. Sometimes he’d just stretch out and take a piece of music in a totally different direction, or start re-harmonizing the chord progression: He was always creating and constantly trying new ideas. I think he knew that wherever he took the music, we’d be right there with him, and that confidence freed him up to be as crazy as he wanted to be. “He also loved our little musical “battles”; those Jeff Beck/Jan Hammer- type exchanges we had were some of my highlights of the live shows. Occasionally we’d just abandon musical phrases and have silly conversations by trying to sound like the The Clangers (a British children’s TV series in the ‘70s) or just resort to making stupid noises at each other. He had such a wonderful sense of humor. “The last time Keith and I played together was in 2009. Keith called me up out of the blue and told me that his mother had just passed away. He asked me to play with him at her funeral, so the two of us (along with a string quartet) played a new piece that Keith had written.
